Make a photo look like a crop circle...?

[steeev]

Hi,

I've been trying to alter a photo to make it look like a crop circle - as in, getting the texture of the (headshot) photo to resemble a crop circle, but still be recognizeable. After several frankly laughable attempts with combinations of fx, ( pastel, pencil sketch, twisty stuff, etc) i'm officially throwing it out to anyone who might actually have some skill...any ideas considered.. thanx.

Psychic abilities are low today - it being Tuesday 'n all. While I recharge, please post an example image so others can see what you're trying to achieve.

As a suggestion, how about posting the image you're working with so we can better understand what you're referring to or dealing with.

EDIT: Sorry EER, we must've been on the same train of thought and posted moments apart.

I am not sure if I understood your question.!

Try this:

Open the face picture in a new layer over the texture layer, apply Toon Shader plugin, some Median Noise as desired then Emboss,

Use Overlay mode on this layer and adjust the transparency as you like.
